Community Collections
Community Collections are server-wide cooperative donation systems where all players contribute items, gold, or pets toward a shared goal. As the community donates, the collection advances through tiers, unlocking new exhibits and displays at the collection's location. Individual players also earn personal reward points they can spend on exclusive items and titles.
There are two main Community Collections: the Vesper Museum and the Moonglow Royal Zoo.
How It Works
Double-click the donation box (or the collection NPC) to open the Community Collection interface. The gump has two sections you can switch between: Donations and Rewards.
Donating
The Donations page shows all accepted items and their point values. To donate:
- Select the item type you wish to donate from the list.
- Enter the quantity in the text field.
- Click "Donate" to contribute.
When you donate, two things happen simultaneously:
- You earn personal reward points equal to the quantity donated multiplied by the item's point value. These points are tracked per-character and per-collection.
- The collection earns the same number of points toward its community tier progress.
You will see messages confirming both your personal points earned and the points awarded to the collection.
Donating Pets
Some collections (the Moonglow Zoo) accept pets. To donate a pet, the collection interface provides a pet donation option. You will be asked to confirm the transfer, as donated pets cannot be recovered. The pet must be tamed and controlled by you.
Claiming Rewards
Switch to the Rewards page to see all available rewards. Each reward has a point cost — if you have enough personal points, you can select a reward to claim it. Some rewards come in multiple color options; after selecting a hued reward, you can pick from the available colors.
Claiming a reward deducts the point cost from your personal balance. You keep any leftover points for future rewards. Points are not shared between the two collections — Moonglow Zoo points and Vesper Museum points are tracked separately.
Community Tiers
As the collection's total community points grow, the collection advances through tiers. Each tier adds new exhibits, creatures, or displays to the collection's physical location, giving visual evidence of the community's progress.
However, community points decay daily. If the community stops donating, the collection will lose points each day and can drop back to lower tiers, removing the associated exhibits. Sustained donation is needed to maintain and advance tiers.
Moonglow Royal Zoo
The Moonglow Royal Zoo is located in Moonglow. Players donate tamed creatures and gold to build up the zoo's collection of exotic animals.
| Zoo Settings | |
|---|---|
| Starting Tier Threshold | 1,000,000 points |
| Daily Decay | 100,000 points |

Zoo Donations
| Donation | Points per Unit |
|---|---|
| Gold | 0.07 per gold piece |
| Dire Wolf | 30 |

| Grey Wolf | 30 |
| White Wolf | 30 |
| Slime | 45 |

| Fire Steed | 250 |
| Swamp Dragon | 250 |
| Fire Beetle | 300 |

Some pet types are grouped together for donation purposes — for example, a Dragon counts the same as a Drake donation, and a Nightmare or Unicorn counts the same as a Kirin.

Reward Titles
Several reward tiers include character titles. Once earned, titles can be selected and displayed on your character through the title selection interface, which cycles through your available titles and lets you choose one to display.
Tips
- Points are tracked per-character, not per-account. Each character builds their own reward balance independently.
- Community tiers decay daily, so ongoing donations from the player community are needed to keep exhibits alive. If donations slow down, the collection can lose tiers and the corresponding exhibits disappear.
- When choosing hued rewards (clothing, jewelry, statuettes), you can preview the available color options before confirming your selection.
- Gold donations earn a relatively small number of points (roughly 1 point per 15 gold). Donating crafting materials or high-value pets is far more efficient for earning personal rewards.
- For the Vesper Museum, stockpiling Frostwood Boards is the most point-efficient donation at 48 points per board.
- For the Moonglow Zoo, Reptalons at 550 points each are the most valuable single pet donation.
- There is no limit to how many rewards you can claim — as long as you have the points, you can keep spending them. You can also earn the same reward multiple times if desired.
